Weekly Report – July 27

This Week's

GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

THIS WEEK'S GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

This week, we continued to monitor antisemitism around the world while advocating for more actions to be made.

The Republic of Panama adopted this week the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, becoming the 42nd country to do so, in a move welcomed and celebrated by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) as an “important step in fighting antisemitism and hate.”

Google honored Dr. Mod Helmy, an Egyptian-German doctor who risked his life to save Jews during the Holocaust, with an artistic “doodle” at the top of its homepage on Tuesday, commemorating his 122nd birthday.

A Hasidic Jewish man was physically assaulted on Saturday in an unprovoked attack in New York City’s Crown Heights neighborhood.. In the Florida Panhandle city of Pensacola, a brick covered with antisemitic messages was hurled through the window of a Chabad center. In disturbing campus-related news, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) announced its members had approved a pro-BDS resolution prohibiting collaboration with Israeli academic institutions.

Across Europe, incidents of antisemitism continue to rattle Jewish communities. In the UK, Conservative lawmaker Paul Bristow accused Israel of “killing” dozens of Palestinian children. In Germany, BDS-supporting journalist Fabian Wolff  revealed that his longstanding claims of being Jewish were mistaken. In the Austrian capital of Vienna, neo-Nazi symbols were drawn on a Holocaust memorial. Also this week, top government officials in Moscow continued to engage in Holocaust distortion and trivialization as part of Russia’s propaganda campaign against Ukraine.

In the Middle East, Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists opened fire toward Jewish worshippers at Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus. After an Israeli UN diplomat expressed concern over the human rights situation in Pakistan, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) politician Sherry Rehman responded by calling Israel “the killer of Palestinians.” 

Meanwhile, in the northern Moroccan town of  Tétouan, the tombs of three revered 17th and 18th-century rabbis were rediscovered, sparking a renewed interest in the excavation of the ancient Jewish cemetery there.

This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 49 new reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 24 (48.98%) from the far-right, 9 (18.37%) from the far-left, 10 (20.41%) with Islamist motivations, and 6 (12.44%) unidentifiable in nature.

By THE INSTITUTE FOR MONITORING PEACE AND CULTURAL TOLERANCE IN SCHOOL EDUCATION

The CEO of the research organization, Marcus Sheff, commented on the findings: “The Palestinian matriculation exams have become a finishing school in extremism.
